someone wrote a note on the neighbor list about a great old catalpa that was between the rockefeller chapel and the oriental institute that was removed and it's the first i've heard anyone mention it so i replied that i miss it too. sometimes i get the feeling something's changed but i don't know what, and i walked around the place where the catalpa stood probably for 200 years and wondered if i remembered right. then i wonder how many things gone missing we feel without specific memory. walking around i feel a general loss occurring so frequently we fail to register.
